How does a plane fly faster than sound???

Question

How does a plane fly faster than sound???

Answer 1

When it exceeds Mach 1, of course, with enough propulsion and stability.

Answer 2

The speed of sound is 1230km/h when it is travelling at a temperature of 21 degrees.

Therefore any aircraft that can go faster than 1230km/h can break the sound barrier (go faster the sound)

Answer 3

By giving extra thrust and by exceeding Mach 1.

Answer 4

Alot of power, special designed intakes to make the air entering the engines subsonic, sleek aerodynamics be able to handle the shock wave, a laminar flow airfoil/circular arc airfoils, or a double wedge airfoil to deal with the shockwaves.

Answer 5

THEY JUS HIT THE FRIGGIN AFTERBURNERS BRO! =D

Answer 6

My answer would be a rephrasing of what JetDoc had said. Power is expended increasing speed and if you have enough energy to spend and a structure that can withstand the forces involved when such velocities are reached, the speed of sound is just a mark on your speed indicator.

Answer 7

There's really no trick to it... All you need is enough power to propell your aircraft to high speeds, and the stability to hold everything together at those speeds.

Answer 8

by going really fast

Answer 9

Most modern combat aircraft can easily exceed the speed of sound.

Answer 11

Lots and lots of power
